The following are fashion trend examples that you can relate to: Barbie dolls, Mickey Mouse, lipsticks, and much more. All of these things began as a simple fashion statement. Today, Barbie dolls have come a long way in the past 20 years from being a thing only a little girl could play with to a cultural icon for girls everywhere. Lipstick and nail polish was first used as a fashion statement back in the 80’s. Today, women are more into nail polish than they were even ten years ago.
Another example would be fashion trends like: shoes. Shoes have been a part of fashion trends for so many years. They have evolved from the simple sandals that Cinderella wore in her ball gown to all the different styles of shoes that a woman can wear today. What Cinderella started out wearing is now called flats, pumps, stilettos, and even slippers. And it all began with a shoe that was worn by one of the shortest characters in Disney’s history – Snow White. The trend grew from there until all the girls wanted the shoes.
